ample parkingcoffee facilitiesfresh towelsfriendly receptionists
the main building presented an excellent sight, with ample parking at the front. my room was in a separate building behind the main structure, equipped with tea and coffee making facilities. i found fresh towels ready for use and the provided breakfast was excellent. check-in was streamlined and the receptionists offered such friendly assistance.
The water pipes were noisy at times. It was only a minor inconvenience.
